Games missing a test in Phoronix

03-14-2019, 03:04 PM

There are plenty of games with benchmarks that do not seem to have a test in Phoronix. Is it because no-one just haven't gotten around writing one or for technical reasons (e.g. can't run benchmark from CLI)?

Some of the games:

War Thunder,

Alien Isolation,

GRID: Autosport,

Borderlands 2,

Left 4 Dead 2,

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor,

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2,

GTA V,

Total War: Rome II,

Hitman 2,

Strange Brigade,

Mortal Combat X,

Batman: Arkham Origins,

Devil May Cry 4

I own some of these games so I might have a crack at some point if the test are possible to create at all so does anyone have insight into these games?

From a quick look, many of those games unfortunately don't have benchmark controls accessible via the command line. If you do find CLI controls, please advise and I am happy to help working on such test profiles. A few of the games like Strange Bridgame, MNortal Combat, Dow2, Borderlands2, Rom2, are the ones I don't believe I've tried yet.

War Thunder, Alien Isolation, Shadow of Mordor, don't have CLI controls that I remember.

Arkham Origins is already in PTS.

GTA V and Hitman 2 I've been looking at and interested in but have ran into problems.

I don't know what L4D2 did on that list. I created my list of benchmarkable Linux games originally from https://xsreviews.co.uk/news/games-w...hmark-your-pc/ and comparing with ProtonDB but now I can't find it on that list. I did actually find "benchmark" and assorted stuff in the L4D2 libraries but adding that as a launch parameter did zilch.

Interestingly enough, ME: Shadow of Mordor seems to have some sort of benchmark template in the binary but I couldn't find a way to dump it. Running the benchmark inside the game doesn't seem to produce any files that I could find.

Looks like there are a few new games that could well have a benchmark. Shadow of Tomb Raider might have as Rise has one. Metro Exodus is another good possibility as is Civ VI: Gathering Storm.
